I can't remember if I'd mentioned that Vela died. It stopped being able to see its own network adapter, which was built into the motherboard. And it was generally flaking out in other ways. Fine, I said, I'll buy a new motherboard. I can't.

Spent most of the day fighting with an Atomic Pi. I finally broke down and bought the mini power interfaces for five of them, and spun one up today. Slightly disappointed to discover it's the same CPU as the LattePanda, but that's ok, it

Video games, rewatching old tv, personal project I'm'a use for work, finished reading Fall.

Work, bagels, bbq, ice cream.

Nothing much to report. Work was work.

Got new fivefingers. One pair doesn't fit and will need to be sent back. Toaster experiments. Work.

Stayed home because my stomach was still grumpy and I had a dental appointment this afternoon. Five cavities. Weird. So, they're getting filled. First four next week. Finally got some code deployed at $newjob.

Came home early because my stomach was bugging me. Still is. Been reading Fall, Stephenson's latest coffee table.

Attempted shopping, failed. Saw Honbs & Shaw.

LJS for lunch. Almost bought a toaster at SVdP, but the rubber bits were at the sticky stage of degradation. Played some video games. Discovered the Planetary Report is available in pdf form, all the way back to the beginning. Reading comics.

Huh. Coulda sworn I posted yesterday. Ah well. 1:1 with boss today. Weirdly enough, when I explained my frustration with the branch process, and she described her plans/hopes to make it better, they were exactly what I was going to suggest, almost

Ooh, tomorrow is pay day. First paycheck in almost three months. When I posted yesterday I'd forgotten that I actually had ordered the Motiv ring. Sizing set should be here tomorrow. Didn't get a proper test of the bedtime feature last night, as I

Doing a terrible job of blogging lately, aren't I? Basically, I get up at 6am, go to work, come home, and play video games until it's time to go to bed way too early, because I can't brain anything else. The past two days

Video games. Started listening to slash reading The Peripheral. Teddy's for lunch. Going to try wfh in the morning tomorrow.

Up earlyish. Breakfast at Leena's, then got my nails done, then best buy, then video games, then attempts to write code, then back to video games.

Sprint retro. Got into the office ridiculously early, so left super early too. Crap pizza for dinner.

Still working on that sleep thing. Forgot to post last night. Team meeting today, somewhat disquieting. Meanwhile, oldjob stepped on a rake and that felt pretty good.

Mediocre sleep. Decent day at work. Managed to stop at Theorem on the way home. My new gaming laptop arrived today, so I've spent the evening getting that set up. It's a Dell G7 15", and its name is Edasich. I really wish I

Slept slightly better, with 50mg of diphenhydramine. Don't expect that to work tonight, but will try it anyway. Definitely displaying too much competence at work. Got more work added to my queue already. The more I dig into this code bade, the more of

I haven't slept well - or much at all - in over a week. I'd assumed it was the whole getting-up-early thing, but it continued this weekend, which has been quite unpleasant. I was wanting to go to bed by 17 today. I've managed

Good day. Light traffic, meeting with manager, meeting with a couple coworkers. Got a third PR up. I've mistakenly displayed advanced competence, and may regret it later.

Got up at 6. Clocked in by 7:25, which meant I was done at 15:25, and home before 17, which was nice. On the down side, I haven't slept well at all this week,so I'm exhausted. Got my first meeting with

Second day, second pull request. First one got merged to staging, after a few adjustments. Meanwhile, got my monitors adjusted to my taste. Still evaluating commute options.

First day of the new job. Didn't sleep adequately, because brains are stupid. Got up early, was ready to go shortly after my alarm went off. Got to the office, got shown around a bit, got laptop set up - after some complications over

Lunch at 3Lions, donuts from Aurora Donuts, endo appt (all good), got vpn server working, dinner at 3Lions, ice cream. Tomorrow, new job.
